Hello,

I have a  SVM-DR with MirronandVault enabled an scheduled working  that creates monthly snapshots with label "monthly" on the 1st of every month, lets say I add a new volume to this SVM-DR on the 2nd of the month, How can I manually create a snapshot that will be labeled "monthly"? , I tried running 

"volume snapshot create -volume NewVol -vserver VS -snapmirror-label monthly -snapshot secondofmonth"

but I get :

This operation is not permitted on a Vserver that is configured as the destination for Vserver DR.

I don't want to wait for the 1st of the next month , thank you.

Create it on the source SVM and then it will get vaulted/mirrored to DR SVM

The source SVM has only "daily" snapshots, the MirrorandVault is creating the "monthly" at destination SVMDR
